“…Hashimoto thyroiditis has also been reported to be associated with IgG4-related retroperitoneal fibrosis, 29,30 and might be classified into IgG4-positive and -negative thyroid lesions on the basis of immunohistochemistry. 31,32 Thus, the 4 patients could be diagnosed with IgG4-related disease with the involvement of bilateral or unilateral lacrimal gland.…”

The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship of ocular adnexal benign or reactive lymphoid hyperplasia, including orbital pseudotumor, with immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-related diseases. Medical charts of 9 consecutive patients with ocular adnexal benign lymphoid lesions, seen in the Department of Ophthalmology, Okayama University Hospital, were reviewed, and pathological sections were restained immunohistochemically for IgG4-, IgG-, and CD138-positive plasma cells. The diagnosis of IgG4-positive lesions was based on 10 or more IgG4-positive plasma cells in a high-power field and greater than 40% ratios of IgG4-positive plasma cells/CD138-positive plasma cells and IgG4-positive plasma cells/IgG-positive plasma cells. IgG4-positive lesions were determined as absent in 5 patients (4 with bilateral lacrimal/orbital lesions and one with a unilateral conjunctival lesion), none of whom showed systemic manifestations. In contrast, IgG4-positive lesions were present in 4 patients (3 with bilateral lacrimal/orbital lesions and one with a unilateral lacrimal/orbital lesion), who showed systemic manifestations : one with Hashimoto thyroiditis, one with IgG4-positive bilateral interstitial lung disease and hepatic inflammatory pseudotumor, one with bilateral interstitial lung disease, and one with systemic lymphadenopathy and antiphospholipid syndrome. In conclusion, IgG4-positive ocular adnexal benign lymphoid lesions might be used as a benchmark for the probable presence of other systemic lymphoid lesions.

“…A number of cases with features consistent with both diseases have been described [12], inferring that the sequence of events in Riedel’s thyroiditis might have initiated as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis [10]. Our patient has a number of features consistent with a diagnosis of both Hashimoto’s and Riedel’s thyroiditis.…”

“…Previous reports associate Riedel’s thyroiditis with multifocal systemic fibrosclerosis [2] which may include sclerosing cholangitis [6], fibrosing mediastinitis [7] apical lung fibrosis [8,9], and retroperitoneal fibrosis [10,11,12]. Although fibrotic lung nodules have not been previously described in Riedel’s thyroiditis, a similar appearance has been reported in IgG4-associated multifocal systemic fibrosclerosis [13], which can include Riedel’s thyroiditis.…”

Background: Riedel’s thyroiditis is characterised by chronic inflammatory invasive fibrosclerosis of the thyroid gland, surrounding structures, and extrathyroidal fibrosis. We present a case of Riedel’s thyroiditis associated with nodular fibrosis of the lungs and liver. Case: A 40-year-old woman presented with a 3-month history of neck swelling, difficulty swallowing and breathlessness on exertion. Core biopsy of the goitre revealed dense fibrous tissue with mixed chronic inflammatory cells. A staging computed tomography scan revealed a large thyroid mass encasing the oesophagus and compressing the trachea, multiple bilateral pulmonary nodules with no evidence of lymphadenopathy, and multiple suspicious nodular lesions in the liver. A thorascopic biopsy of a lung lesion in its entirety revealed a hyalinising lung lesion with no evidence of malignancy. Following the introduction of levothyroxine replacement, symptomatic improvement occurred in parallel with improvements in imaging. Conclusion: To our knowledge, this is the first description of Riedel’s thyroiditis presenting with nodular extrathyroidal fibrosis, and which showed resolution following institution of levothyroxine.

“…While both RT and IgG4-RD have been reported to occur more frequently in patients with hypothyroidism and those who are highly positive for anti-thyroid antibodies, RT is more common in women between 30 and 50 years of age [8,7,[24][25][26], and IgG4-RD has a higher incidence in men older than 50 years [17,27]. Our 10 Japanese patients with RT were predominantly females (70%), aged 30 to 60 years, which was rather consistent with the clinical profile of RT.…”
